Last time I tried playing Mario Kart 8 online there was nobody else to get matched up with. Seems like majority of gamers have upgraded to Mario Kart 8: Deluxe Edition. When there's nobody else to play with the online service is effectively dead.

When the Wii U got released people wearn't expecting the original Nintendo Wii's Wifi Connection service to go down as soon as it did.
But that happened because of that service's financing. The PS2 and the Wii shared the same service so that was the end of PA2 onling gaming too excpet for sellect titles.
Hopefully with this different service the Wii U will last untill the next Smash Bros game at least.
